Well, well, well

[H2O Man]

14. Thanks.

I remember way back, when I had just finished high school, and was filling out "paper work" ..... and a few times in a row, if I remember correctly, there were questions with a selection of answers, including "other." And I enjoyed identifying myself as "other."

Many, many decades later, I still think of myself as an "other." Perhaps others do, too.

(One school administrator and I were talking last night. He deals with the financial business. He's a fairly conservative republican, but over the past three years, have become pretty good friends. We've gone out "artifact hunting" several times, and he's come to the gym a few times. I introduced him to Marvis Frazier last fall, something he really enjoyed.

Last night, he told me that when I had announced that I was running three years ago, another school administrator told him that i was "a wild-eyed radical," and "dangerous." Now, I had never met either of these gentlemen at that point. But the one fellow had a pretty strange opinion of me. Fear of the "other."
